Bec didn't mean a full screen necessarily, but she did brave 100mph in a car with no screen at all, aero or otherwise, in just sunglasses!!!!
Only bit that gave me the jitters for a mo was that the fan LED came on when I went over 80ish, it was only later it clicked that it got brighter as I
went quicker, and that is was the fan windmilling energising the LED!!!
Wheel alignment needs checking too, think a tad more toe-in might be in order, gets a bit untidy in sidewinds at 100ish.

Looks like at least a dozen cars so far, with another few bystanders
I know there is more, so I think it might be a good idea to do another thread/poll over the weekend to keep it at the top so to speak

Been there before, bit towny but OK.
Round near me (and most of you still) in Glenfield is the Nags Head and at Brant Hill (A50/A46 roundabout) is the Brant Inn.
(Its on LE6 0DU
Overdale Avenue but here is a map that nearly gets it right)
Street map
That one has the Triumph owners club meeting on Tuesdays (monthly basis) so are used to meets there. Quite big car park too and just off J21a of
M1.
Certainly if you want to go by bus its dead easy as its the main route between the city center and Coalville.
On and its easy walking distance from my house 
(edit)
(Just in case anyone has a break down and needs tools mind, not that I'm a lazy sod).

ahhh, there'd be no temptation to get your car finished then though!!! LOL!!
Think it will probably be the Bulls Head (or Halfway House as its locally known) as it does fit in nicely halfway between the two big groups of
people, in nuneaton and leics, not to mention making demo drives for prospective builders easy as its not in any village or town, and it fronts
straight onto a decent road, with good windy lanes off both sides within a mile radius.
Pretty sure I will slot in next wednesday as the first meet, I'll probably be there on my own but someone has to start these things lol!!!

Mkay. I can't promise this Wed but I'll give it a go.
....I may be on my bicycle though
As others say, Thursday and Tuesday are bad for me. Wed is ideal.

Hello???
*looks around and recognises some old faces/usernames*
OK Hello (again) people, not been on here in ages and I'm somewhat amazed that I remembered my password.
Anyway Mr. Winter (Hi Al ) popped round earlier and
mentioned this 'ere meet on Wednesday.
I'm definitely up for popping along, and should be free so, it'd be cool to catch up with some old faces, as well as some people I
think I recognise through skidaddle88 among other connections (It's a bloody small world).
For most of you who don't know me, I'll qualify myself as a "locostbuilder", having built a
Stuart-Taylor "locosaki" a few years ago (though I do believe I started that well after a certain
builder from Nuneaton ) I also built a Tiger a couple of years before that.
However, I do understand that you're now required to throw rocks at me or something as a "miserable sod" as I've now got a
Caterham 
Anyway, I used to go and interlope in the monthly 7s meet at Hathern when I had the locosaki, so it seems only fitting to come (back) to a locost meet
in the 7! Just please don't throw anything (unless it's money - and the paper variety at that)
Anyway, barring work sticking it's unwelcome oar in I'll see you on Wednesday,
Cheers,
Ben

Caterhams welcome, no rocks to be thrown!!!!
We will be about 1/2 mile from the caterham mids dealers after all, and about 100 yds from parkers who prep enough of the damn things for racing
lol!!!
Turns out I'm spannering for a brand new superlight-cosworth caterham that a friend is racing this year (he's just sold his Radical SR3
and going to something more "fun" )

Do you think that means that we can put drinks on expenses and claim business

This is all sounding really good!! Can't wait to see everybody there!!
just sorted a few niggles on my machine too, so its tip top and ready (apart from having a bit of grp roadsign as a makeshift aeroscreen lol !!!! )
Cambelt tensioner was whining (even though it was new! ) so just put another newun on, and the throttle pot wasn't quite zeroed in right so
there was a bit of a flatspot at very light throttle, now sorted too!
Ought to clean it now and get all the crap off it I suppose or you'll all be taking the pee
